TomlinAgesI16 through adultGradesIhigh school and upEvidence-Based PracticeAccording to the Clinical Guidelines of the Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists(www.rcslt.org/resources, 2005) and the National Stroke Association (2006), the following therapyprinciples are supported.ICommunication, both verbal and nonverbal, is a fundamental human need. Meeting this needby facilitating and enhancing communication in any form can be vital to a patient’s well-being.ITherapy should include tasks that focus on semantic processing, including semantic cueing ofspoken output, semantic judgments, categorization, and word-to-picture matching.ITherapy may target the comprehension and production of complex, as well as simple, sentence forms.ITherapy should be conducted within natural communication environments.IRehabilitation is an important part of recovering from a stroke, and the goal is to regain asmuch independence as possible.This book incorporates the above principles and is also based on expert professional practice.Copyright 2002 LinguiSystems, Inc.LinguiSystems, Inc.3100 4th AvenueEast Moline, IL 61244-9700800-776-4332FAX: 800-577-4555E-mail: service@linguisystems.comWeb: linguisystems.comAll of our products are copyrighted to protect the fine work of ourauthors.

IntroductionThe exercises in WALC 1 (Workbook of Activities for Language and Cognition): AphasiaRehab emerged as was working with adolescent and adult clients who exhibited difficultieswith auditory and visual comprehension and/or oral and written expression. The majorityof these clients exhibited aphasia due to stroke or head injury. These exercises have alsoproved to be very useful with clients who have language difficulties resulting from variouspathologies (e.g., central auditory processing disorders) as well as neurologic changes dueto illnesses (e.g., Lyme disease).The underlying principle for the materials in WALC 1: Aphasia Rehab is based on teachingprocesses as opposed to content. My focus has been on teaching strategies and I havediscovered that few publications contain a sufficient amount of stimulus items to insureacquisition of the strategy. Most available material does not provide an internal hierarchicalorder which reflects an increase in degree of difficulty within a task and from task to taskas the client builds upon the strategies of processes he is relearning how to use.The exercises in WALC 1: Aphasia Rehab have been used for many years by speechlanguage pathologists and other specialists (e.g., cognitive therapists, occupationaltherapists) with a wide variety of clients. The content and format have proved to bean excellent therapy supplement for trained professionals, clients' families, and clients.However one uses WALC 1: Aphasia Rehab, it is my sincere hope that the exercises arehelpful and that each and every client will benefit from having used them.KathyWALC 1: Aphasia Rehab5Copyright 2002 LinguiSystems, Inc.

Unit 1: Matching and IdentificationA client’s ability to understand and complete matching and identification tasks is oftenimpaired as a result of aphasia. The client may have lost the ability to determine howshapes, numbers, letters, or words are alike or different. A client may no longer understandwhat the concept of matching means.For clients with anomia, the matching and identification tasks stimulate expressive language,making the use of these activities especially helpful for them.The matching and identification tasks begin simply, with single, more concrete items (thatare not loaded with meaning) and progress to more complex tasks. The tasks are alsodesigned to improve the client’s ability to process auditory, graphic, and visual material.Overall, the tasks in this section are receptive but can be used to build other skills, likeexpressive language, visual recognition, and fine motor skills.Therapy SuggestionsUse the activities as they are to improve the ability to understand the task.zSay or describe the shapes or pictures as the client completes the activity with amotor response like pointing. This process often stimulates the client to repeat thename of the object spontaneously.zUse these activities to help the client regain the understanding that symbols standfor words, words stand for objects, and letters stand for sounds — necessary skillsfor reading.zRepeat the activities matching a picture to words and sentences to improve theclient’s word finding skills.zHelp improve visual identification and memory skills by covering pictures and askingthe client to recall visual information he saw on the page.Unit 1 – Matching and IdentificationWALC 1: Aphasia Rehab6Copyright 2002 LinguiSystems, Inc.

Unit 2: Following CommandsA client with aphasia may have difficulty following oral and written directions for severalreasons.zFollowing directions is a multimodality task. First, the client hears or reads thedirection and then needs to understand it. Once the client understands, hemakes the appropriate motor response. All in all, that’s complex processing!zWhen the motor response is written — circling, underlining, etc. — a client withaphasia may perseverate or respond in one way instead of accurately followingthe directions.zSome directions require a client to exclude an item, categorize information, orfind similarities or differences. Sometimes, directions require a client to processdirections or commands that are embedded in other information. As the languageand thinking load increases, the task of following directions becomes more difficult.Therapy SuggestionszReview common direction words and practice the appropriate motor responsebefore beginning this section of activities. For example, ask the client to drawa circle, a box, or a line. Write examples on index cards for future reference.zReview the meaning of selected content words to improve the comprehensionof directions.zHelp the client associate directions to appropriate body parts before askinghim to follow the direction. For example, when he hears the word wink, whatbody part does he associate?zDiscuss the relevance of categorization tasks, functions of objects, parts ofwholes, similarities, and differences before asking the client to follow directionsrequiring these thinking tasks.Unit 2 – Following CommandsWALC 1: Aphasia Rehab50Copyright 2002 LinguiSystems, Inc.

Unit 3: VocabularyOne of the most overt signs of aphasia is a client’s inability to use vocabulary and languageskills effectively. Some clients with aphasia find their ability to perceive and comprehendauditory or visual messages significantly reduced. Because of this, they respond slowly.Other clients comprehend only parts of the auditory or visual message. Because they donot understand the whole message, their responses are incorrect or tangential.Some clients may be able to produce a mental image of what they want to say, yet be unableto recall the necessary words. This difficulty is usually “process” rather than “word” specific.Clients will know what they want to say but tell you they “just can’t say it.” At other times,they are able to use the same words or phrases correctly.The tasks in this unit are designed to help the clients compensate for deficits in vocabulary.Therapy SuggestionszAfter completing a task that lists choices, review it with the answers covered.Show the choices when necessary.zAfter the client chooses an answer, have him write the answer next to the stimulusitem. Then have him read the word aloud.zReview the meaning of the content words in all activities to improve comprehension,the ability to make choices, and word retrieval skills. Vary the rate of presentation.A slower presentation rate will reduce the effects of perseveration and improveprocessing. Adequate response time allows the client to mentally or verballyrehearse a response before expressing it.zEncourage verbal rehearsal initially and, over time, gradually shift to mentalrehearsal of responses.Unit 3 – VocabularyWALC 1: Aphasia Rehab60Copyright 2002 LinguiSystems, Inc.
